*****Teeth

Evan now has four teeth, and Olivia is writing her master's thesis. Boy does time fly!

*****Tooth

After weeks of anticipation, Evan finally had a tooth break through his gum! It is on the bottom, and as I watch him fiddle around with his mouth it is pretty clear that he doesn't really know what the think about the whole thing. Ah...just nineteen more to go, little fella!

*****Soccer

We have now entered into the realm of organized sports with the enrollment of Olivia into the Knee Kickers soccer club!

Tents, tarps, chairs and rolling coolers will soon be the order of the day as myself, Marianna and Evan make ourselves at home on the sidelines while cheering on our little Mia Hamm! Go Olivia!

*****Mime

Olivia likes to do the same things that her mommy does. Just this morning, Marianna took Evan upstairs while she went to use the breast pump. Following suit, Olivia grabbed her baby and announced that she too was "going upstairs to pump." Her ability to imitate us is both amazing and frightening at the same time!

*****Poop II

For only the second time in her life, Olivia pooped on the potty. Big news since we seem to have been waiting quite a long time since her first endeavor into diaper-free pooping. We could tell she had one in the chute because she had asked for a diaper, a request that was denied even though we were risking a dump-n-run in the corner.

When the time came she pushed and groaned and protested that the poop was not quite ready to come out after all. Finally, after much cheering and hand-holding and a few tears, Olivia was anxious to flush the bad poop down the toilet. Let's hope we don't have to wait as long for her third effort!
